The show started off great for the first two episodes. Was excited to see how they were going to uncover more about Don Johnson's character's past, why he was part of the clan, the mirros and Regina Kings character Etc . Thdn it just turned into rewriting the cannon of the book and characters and they lost me. A few juicy moments in each episode, but for the most part lost me on the way down to the very ending. So much lost potential

Without prior knowledge I watched all 9 episodes. The recommendations from friends were so strong that I kept watching it even though not understanding what was going on. The ending was so good that it almost made up for the hours of waiting. Knowing where it ends up made the second time through much more fun So if one doesn't mind being lost for a big part of the series, enjoy and watch it a second time.

Highly disappointing series. Huge fan of the Graphic Novel and was very skeptical when they were making a movie adaptation but was pleasantly pleased by the movie. This series they're making is a complete train wreck. Barely holds a candle to the novel or film and the traits carried over to this show to give it the name Watchmen are minuscule at best. This could have, and may as well be, a complete standalone superhero show. HBO is just trying to piggy back on the creative ideas of the novel and film to reduce how much they have to think while completely perverting the origin of what it's derived from. If you know nothing of the Graphic Novel you might like it. Fans of the original, we've been severely let down. I've been hoping for a decade now the movie would bring about a live action series, furious we got this hot pile of garbage.
